Parry spots a NY Times correction posted on their business page of a 2012 kidnapping of one of their reporters in Syria which poses some very important questions about political influence that seems to have transformed US media coverage into political propaganda support for Empire policies and actions in the Middle East and Ukraine.
In December 2012, Syria’s U.S.-backed “moderate” rebels pulled off a false-flag kidnapping and “rescue” of NBC’s chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel and his crew, getting the crime blamed on a militia tied to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a propaganda scam that NBC played along with despite having evidence of the truth.
